Dang, I wish I wasn't a first-time swapper, I just signed up for another one. I got back from a work term in Japan a few months ago...I was in Tokyo for the cherry blossom weekend. So beautiful! I think I have a bunch of random sakura themed stuff lying around that would be perfect to craft out of for this. Oh well...if you need an angel (if I qualify?) let me know!

*weighing my options* This and Hello Kitty have active signups, the anime/manga swap and ongoing diy kit are on the horizon (hopefully-I've been waiting for those for months!), and I'm already in 2 ongoing swaps. Will I be able to fit this in? *grumblesatthe5swaplimit*

Too bad I can't just do personal swaps that shadow the organized swaps.......
